Traveling

by Angela Cotterman

I had never danced
under the mirrored lights
to Gypsy music
as we did last night,
our clothes still damp from the rain
on the avenues,
where the chestnut trees blossomed
like white-robed angels,
heralding in mist.
Now that I have,
I can't find my way back again.

...goos write? what's a goos write? anyway, a good write.

I just love this. Written with a light, deft touch, and a brilliant conclusion.
